Even though she had mentally prepared herself, deciding to personally see the Doctor who had been by her side since childhood.

But upon arrival, seeing the middle-aged man in the white coat smiling at her, Yun Qiqi still felt a chill rising from her feet.

She never had good feelings towards the Doctor, and now, that sense of repulsion was even stronger.

The Doctor’s gaze glimmered beneath his lenses upon seeing her.

His face still wore the usual gentle smile: "Qi Qi, where have you been? You don’t look well, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Qiqi snapped back to reality, shook her head: "Nothing, just a bit cold."

The Doctor gave a command, and the indoor voice-controlled robot increased the room temperature slightly.

Then he turned around and filled a syringe with liquid on the table.

As he gazed at the liquid, a certain gleam seemed to flicker in his eyes:

"Then let’s begin, I’ve prepared the stabilizer, I specially changed the formula, it won’t hurt as much this time."

Yun Qiqi stared at the syringe in his hand, but didn’t move.

The Doctor, seeing her unresponsive, glanced at her in surprise: "Qi Qi, come lie down here?"

The young girl remained motionless, speaking lightly: "I don’t want an injection today."

"..."

The Doctor’s movements finally paused, the gentle smile on his face also stalled for a second.

His gaze under the lenses seemed to distort for a moment.

But as if suppressed quickly, he shrugged, seeming helpless about her tantrum:

"Is something making you unhappy? We can talk about it, if you’re really uncomfortable and don’t want the injection, it can wait until tomorrow."

Yun Qiqi stared at him, her gaze fixed on his face:

"What if I say, I never want to get it again?"

The young girl’s dark pupils were deep and unfathomable, indifferent yet hollow, yet seemed to harbor a penetrating perception.

The Doctor held her gaze for several seconds, the atmosphere seemed to freeze momentarily.

Then he laughed again: "Don’t throw a tantrum, Qi Qi, without the injection your body’s cells will undergo fissuring, you’ll be in great pain then, you should have felt that pain once before."

Yun Qiqi paused, slowly squinted her eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"I’m not, how could I threaten you?" The Doctor said unhurriedly, "You are my favorite child in the entire lab, I don’t wish to harm you at all."

After finishing, he acted as if nothing had happened, patting the surgical table in front of him.

"Come over, let’s get the injection, I’ve used new medication this time, it really won’t hurt."

Yun Qiqi stood still, without moving.

She increasingly felt something was off about the Doctor, that strange feeling growing stronger.

Regardless, she was determined not to take the injection.

The Doctor waited there for a few seconds, since she didn’t react, he looked up, staring at the young girl’s indifferent face for several seconds.

He suddenly became more serious, placing the syringe aside: "Qi Qi, are you guarding against me? For what reason?"

"Let me guess," he adjusted his glasses, eyes beneath the lenses glinting with a chilling light, as if pondering before speaking leisurely, "is it because you saw something earlier in that room, right?"

At this point, his eyes had lost all warmth, the smile on his face completely vanished.
